Today’s Top 3
1. Check this Clear Lake mega A-rig!
My only question: How in the world do you cast that thing? Do you have to “stroll” it?!
2. Ice fisherman’s secret: glowing lures.
Maybe there’s something to the whole UV thing after all? Especially for deep fish?
> Hammond said glowing lures are particularly effective during early morning or evening…. They’re painted with fluorescent paint and he gets them glowing by quickly bathing them in light from a camera flash.
> He said most keep their glow for about 10 minutes. When the glow is gone, he reels them in and gives them another flash.
> “When I used my underwater camera, I noticed that there’s extremely low visibility during those times and the fish can’t see very far. I found out when I enhanced the color of the lure and its visibility by having it glow, the fish immediately became attracted to it.”
Here you go, boat and truck. Was real easy to find the neon green Tightlines UV boat on the water – maybe that’s why Brent changed it? (lol)

Quote of the Day
Without an hour of sleep, we signed-up at the ramp and fished another event.
– Charlie Hartley talking about Davy Hite talking him into driving all night from one derby to another. Charlie also said:
> I can’t speak for him, but I can say that I don’t think I could do that again. I love to fish, and I pride myself on being tough, but two tournaments with an all-night drive in between is probably more than I can handle these days.
